Answer:

The equivalent present worth of the series is $27,211.16.

Explanation:

The first thing to do is to calculate the real interest using the following formula:

1 + i = (1 + r)(1 + inf) ..................... (1)

Where;

i = market interest rate = 11%, or 0.11

r = real interest rate = ?

inf = average general inflation rate = 4%, or 0.04

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for r, we have:

1 + 0.11 = (1 + r)(1 + 0.04)

1 + r = 1.11 / 1.04

1 + r = 1.06730769230769

r =  1.06730769230769 – 1

r = 0.06730769230769

The equivalent present worth of the series can now be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of a growing annuity as follows:

PVga = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (2)

Where;

PVga = present value of a growing annuity or equivalent present worth of the series = ?

P = constant dollar (or real-dollar) payments = $6,000

r = real interest rate = 0.06730769230769

g = growth rate of payments = 5%, or 0.05

n = number of years = 5

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

PVga = (6000 / (0.06730769230769 - 0.05)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.05) / (1 + 0.06730769230769))^5)

PVga = 346,666.666666712 * 0.078493722845371

PVga = $27,211.16

Therefore, the equivalent present worth of the series is $27,211.16.

raketka [301]

Answer:

(2) consult others before making a decision.

Before I make a recommendation, I will consult my team members.  Individually, some may have new ideas and modifications which we can incorporate into the project to even beat the competition and cause management to continue supporting the project.

Explanation:

Even though our competitor's "product appears to utilize radical new design principles that expand the functionality of the product," we can still modify our product.  This will not only incorporate the features of our competitor's product, but also further introduce new features that will emanate from the challenge from competition.

This is where the SCRUM framework becomes important.  This framework for project management emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and iterative progress toward a well-defined goal, while allowing for tweaks.

Developing this project based on this framework must have made it possible for us to receive the report from the marketing department in the first place.  The principles of Scrum are Openness, Respect, Courage, Commitment, and Focus.  So, the best we can do will be to prioritize, come up with new improvement ideas, and convince top management not to cancel the project.

A salesperson is offering promissory notes for a company selling coffee at drive-through kiosks. The notes pay a 13% interest ra
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Legitimate promissory notes are marketed to sophisticated, corporate investors that have the ability to thoroughly research the company issuing the notes and determine whether the issuer will be able to repay principal and interest.   There have been many instances of "promissory note fraud" where unlicensed individuals push bogus promissory notes that are sold as investments that offer above-market fixed interest rates and safeguarding of principal - and most of there are frauds.  This is a major concern to state regulators.

To offer a promissory note, both the salesperson and the note must be registered in the state.  Only promisory notes that have maturities of 9 months or less, that are investment grade, and are sold in minimum increments of $50,000 are exempt from registration.  

Finally, the tell-tale sign of fraud are:

Statements that tho notes are "guaranteed" or insured, especially by bogus foreign entities.

Promises of above-market rates fo return

Statements that the notes are "risk"free"

The labeling of a star-up company´s notes as prime

Offers of promissory notes from a stanger who does not know the costumer financial situation

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Total overhead cost variance                                      $

Standard fixed overhead cost ($9 x 45,100 hrs)    405,900

Less: Actual fixed overhead cost                             <u>411,000 </u>

Total overhead cost variance                                   <u> 5,100 (A)</u>

Explanation:

Total overhead variance is the difference between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost. Standard fixed overhead cost is overhead rate multiplied by actual direct labour hours. Overhead rate is the total of variable overhead and fixed overhead rate ($8 + $1 = $9).
